NAME

psadwatchd - checks to make sure kmsgsd and psad are running.

SYNOPSIS

psadwatchd[<configfile>]

DESCRIPTION

psadwatchd checks on an interval of every five seconds to make sure
that kmsgsd and psad are running on the box. If either of the other
two daemons have died, psadwatchd will restart the daemon and notify
each email address listed in the EMAIL_ADDRESSES variable (see
/etc/psad/psad.conf) that the daemon has been restarted. psadwatchd
uses the psad.conf configuration file which by default is located at
/etc/psad/psad.conf, but a different path can be specified on the
command line.
